recently i've been doing a lot of thinking. and i've been planning on this particular post for most of that reflection period, but
Matt Davidson's recent
post finally gave me the final push to do so. my life is so blessed. and i know that may come as a shock to a lot of you, seeing as how the two month anniversary of my dad passing was three days ago. but God provides. i'm not saying i've become a super fanatic about living for Christ recently, because sadly that's not the case. but i can definitely see God's hand in my life. it's been tough, but who can say that life's been easy? i have the strength to make it through the day. and i had my dad for a little over 20 years of my life. those years are full of memories of him that i get to reflect on happily. yes there were rough times, but the happy times outweigh them. and now my family and i can exchange stories that dad would have loved, and when something happens we know exactly how dad would have reacted to it. from short cuts, to curse words. he's still present in our every day lives. and what makes everything even better? my family is so close now. we have to be. we've banded together to hold each other up. i honestly can say that i think that my family is the best in the world, because we're making it through this and growing
together. not many people get this blessing. God deemed us strong enough to make it through, and i am grateful.
